CNOC Outdoors Vecto 2L Water Bag Review

Long story short... the Vecto Water Container from CNOC Outdoors is awesome! One weekend in the backcountry with the Vecto proved it to be one of the best backpacking water containers. I've been using the Sawyer brand water bags for the past few years and they always have been a pain to fill up with water, but they are still great bags. The Vecto on the other hand has a nice wide opening at the top that makes filling so easy, that getting water doesn't have to be a frustrating process.

So, one takeaway for using Cnoc bag is wipe it off after filling with water so non-filtered water does NOT run down the bag when inverted for filtering and dispensing.
Great review if attributes, merits and demerits.
no need for apologies when delivering negative experiences with the Sawyer bag. We need the facts as experienced by you in real life activities.
Cnoc is a first-rate company! I have their cork-handled adjustable hiking poles -- excellent in every way.

I tried these out a few months ago and I agree. No more Sawyer bags ever!!! I never liked the Sawyer bag design and I am glad we now have a better solution. I also like how the CNOC bag is more flexible.

I used this bag for five days on a trail work party in Alpine Lakes Wilderness and the bag worked great.. easy to use and stood up well

I just used mine along with a HydroBlu Versa filter for the first time on a 5 day trip to Sequoia NP. The durability and small packed size are a huge plus for me. However, the wide opening and ease of filling in both lakes and small streams seals the deal for me. On one mountain pass I was even able to fold it under a small overhang and grab a trickle that was coming off a few rocks. I'll be buying another one for myself and extras to give to my hiking partners who also enjoyed using my setup vs. their old pump style filters and bottles.

Sweet bag! I've been using the Platypus 2L and love it! But that big opening is pretty sweet!

I just started using the Vecto myself this season and have been impressed with it.

Glad you had a good experience. A lot of people on Amazon were complaining, now they have a new listing with not so great reviews.

[Clayonthetrail]

I bought one based on your review, and I really like it. So easy to fill. Also caught Wasatch Wills video with you. I always carry a tube of crazy glue for my dogs paw in case he gets cut. I learned it from some K9 Officers and it works great. The Uintas can be hard on a dog. Thanks, Clayonthetrail

[idiotbox]

I just bought one on Friday. I'm glad it gets your approval.

[onetimeoutdoorsdj]

Very nice I was looking at these on Kickstarter and unfortunately I didn't have the funds to purchase them there but I'm definitely going to get one of these bags

[TimWatsonOutdoors]

Glad you've had a good experience. I know he's had to bring production back to the US to fix some QC issues.

[expatadventureturkey]

Great review, and agree 4 min is much easier to get the discussion across 👍🏽 Katadyne 2L with filter is currently my go to but hey change can happen. 👣👣👣👣👣👣🏔

Dont feel bad about dissing the sawyer bags. They are pretty much just garbage that is there to say bag included.

That being said, it will work fine for people that a lot of people that use it a couple times a year at most, and am glad that they include something.

[adventureswithfrodo]

I thought you had done this one before, guess not. I like the idea and a numbeiking the cnoc. r of reviews. Well hope you keep l

[davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Thanks just received my bag and watched your video because the slide seemed to work hard but I guess I will get used to it. My big takeaway was that I didn't notice the measurements on the side of the bag. Thanks again.

[OutLan]

Think I just need to pick one up. Thanks for the review!

[Dynastypreppers]

The CNOC looks like a nice bag and much easier to fill. I’ve always wondered if the sawyer squeeze bags would last long.

[DragonRoams]

Great review I recently purchased this but have yet to use it in the field.

[thebrizzy]

I got the 3liter. Has the improvements and only a few grams more than the 2liter.

[halerobert]

I use 3-liter CNOC bags because more water why not and at the time it was hard to get the 2-liter bags, but hands down the swayer bag is so bad I'm surprised Swayer even still 6 years later include it with their filter
